November 20, 2006: Switching to Amazon Fulfillment
In order to best fulfill our customers' orders and service needs, we are taking all our inventory and sales management to Amazon.com's Merchant Services. As this happens there will be a lag between what we can offer here and what they will have at our store there. Once the dust has cleared, though, it will be smooth sailing. Sorry for any inconvenience you may experience during the transition.

November 15, 2006: Free Sock Giveaway
Eight lucky customers will receive one free pack of Clover Brand split-toe cotton socks with their non-Fighter jika-tabi purchase. This includes White, Hadashi, and Winter tabi.

Coming Next Year: Wider Selection of Tabi and Socks
In order to bring the best of the jika-tabi world to the States I am planning to greatly enhance the product line-up available here. Future products will include air-cushioned jika-tabi, patterned fabric, a variety of socks, and other related traditional Japanese martial arts and fashion goods. So look for the new additions and please contact us if you have any special requests or recommendations.
